Biography

Robert joined Simpson Millar in 2016, having previously been an Equity Partner in a small firm where he was Head of Professional Negligence.

He successfully argued cases twice in the Court of Appeal in this very niche area of professional negligence in which Robert has become an acknowledged expert.
